"Bureau of Contacts" - ghost-hunting game for 1-4 players, in which you'll encounter 2 enemies at once - location itself and the ghosts with most human-like intelligence ever. So...look around and watch what you say!
The game's standout feature is its use of advanced AI to control the supernatural entities. According to the marketing, the ghosts "analyze context, simulate moods and attitudes, and make decisions on their own will and reasoning, parodying human behavior." This generative AI system creates an unpredictable and dynamic experience, forcing players to carefully consider their words and actions to avoid angering or provoking the ghosts.
The game features a variety of ghost types, each with unique behaviors and temperaments. Players must learn to recognize and adapt to these different ghost abilities, using various investigation and combat strategies to effectively confront them.
The game is designed as a cooperative experience, allowing players to team up with up to three friends. Reviews highlight the importance of effective communication and teamwork, as players must coordinate their actions and watch each other's backs to succeed.
The game world consists of "cursed locations" that players must explore to gather clues and evidence about the supernatural phenomena. However, the process of investigating these locations and uncovering the secrets of the paranormal entities is praised as an engaging and rewarding aspect of the gameplay.
While the current content is limited due to the game's early access status, reviews indicate that the game provides players with opportunities to develop their characters and abilities through various systems, including "trade and storage, experience, reward, and achievement" mechanics.
